Anthology Special Review: Nature's Wrath

The Anthology Review   Did you miss the posting of the fall anthology? Maybe you saw it but were wondering: Exactly what is an anthology and why should I read it? Anthologies have themes, and contributions have to be self-contained short stories that incorporate that theme in some aspect.

November C S R Feature: Between The Lines By Comicality

It's hard to believe the year is almost over! Just 2 more CSR's in 2016, and I thought for this month I'd feature the kind of story a lot of the site's readers enjoy, but a very popular author. For the first time as a CSR feature, this month's story is Between the Lines by Comicality (I know, I was shocked I hadn't featured him before!)   Between the Lines by Comicality   Length: 46,928   Description: "College is definitely a great place to revolutionize your life, try new

Due to the length of the story, don't feel like you have to complete it to come comment. I will encourage anyone doing specific comments to the story to use the spoiler code.
